BLiSS 1.0: Evaluating Bilingual Learner Competence in Second Language Small Language Models

2025-10-22 · Yuan Gao, Suchir Salhan, Andrew Caines, Paula Buttery, Weiwei Sun arxiv

To bridge the gap between performance-oriented benchmarks and the evaluation of cognitively inspired models, we introduce BLiSS 1.0, a Benchmark of Learner Interlingual Syntactic Structure. Our benchmark operationalizes a new paradigm of selective tolerance, testing whether a model finds a naturalistic learner error more plausible than a matched, artificial error within the same sentence. Constructed from over 2.8 million naturalistic learner sentences, BLiSS provides 136,867 controlled triplets (corrected, learner, artificial) for this purpose. Experiments on a diverse suite of models demonstrate that selective tolerance is a distinct capability from standard grammaticality, with performance clustering strongly by training paradigm. This validates BLiSS as a robust tool for measuring how different training objectives impact a model's alignment with the systematic patterns of human language acquisition.

BLISS in Non-Isometric Embedding Spaces

2018-09-27 · Barun Patra, Joel Ruben Antony Moniz, Sarthak Garg, Matthew R Gormley 외

Recent work on bilingual lexicon induction (BLI) has frequently depended either on aligned bilingual lexicons or on distribution matching, often with an assumption about the isometry of the two spaces. We propose a techn…

Learning to Find Translation of Grammar Patterns in Parallel Corpus

2021-10-01 · ROCLING 2021 10 · Kai-Wen Tuan, Yi-Jyun Chen, Yi-Chien Lin, Chun-Ho Kwok 외

We introduce a method for assisting English as Second Language (ESL) learners by providing translations of Collins COBUILD grammar patterns(GP) for a given word. In our approach, bilingual parallel corpus is transformed …
